On a busy day you are heading to the office and want to reach early. You are on the wrong side of the road and the next intersection is far away, and you have decided to make a U-turn. But you do not want to get caught by the police cars which arrive according to a Poisson distribution with rate 2. You will make a U- turn only if the road has been clear for t time units. Let N be the number of cars you see before the U-turn. Find E[N].

You set up a series of cameras along the Mexican border. The rate of appearances of Jaguars is 4/18 years. Your cameras also produce pictures of wolf-sized canids, either wolves or coy-wolves in the same region. Each year your cameras catch about 400 of these animals, about 60 cougars and about 700 bears and 1200 feral hogs. Assume that these numbers are all population rates for Poisson. Given your cameras catch a non human large animal (and the above list is all of them): i. What is the probability it is a jaguar? (Hint: Animals are independent. This is asking the conditional probability of a jaguar, given you see an animal) ii. What is the probability it is a feral hog? iii. Out of 25 large nonhuman animals, what is the probability that 15 or more are feral hogs? (Hint N=25, P is fixed, independent trials) iv. Out of 180 large non human animals what is the probability that between 100 and 170 are feral hogs?
A weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…

Some previous studies have shown a relationship between emergency-room admissions per day and level of pollution on a given day. A small local hospital finds that the number of admissions to the emergency ward on a single day ordinarily (unless there is unusually high pollution) follows a Poisson distribution with mean = 2.0 admissions per day. Suppose each admitted person to the emergency ward stays there for exactly 1 day and is then discharged. The hospital is planning a new emergency-room facility. It wants enough beds in the emergency ward so that for at least 95% of normal-pollution days it will not need to turn anyone away. What is the smallest number of beds it should have to satisfy this criterion? Answer the previous question for a random day during the year.
Please solve within 30 minutes. Suppose the number of hurricanes N in a given year is Poisson distributed with a mean of 4. Losses Xi due to individual hurricanes is exponentially distributed with a mean of 1,000. Let X denote the total loss due to the N hurricanes. Find Var(X).
Leo used an analog sensor to measure the temperature of his solar panels. After the experiment, he wants to process the data he obtained. Is he allowed to describe the data by using the measures of central tendency? No, because the data he gathered is qualitative in nature. Yes, because the data he gathered is quantitative in nature. No, because the data the gathered is quantitative in nature. Yes, because the data he gathered is qualitative in nature.
In a sample there are 3 male dogs and 3 female dogs. These dogs are couples such that the weight of the ith dog, and the Fi measures the weight of the ith dogs girlfriend. The correlation between M and F is exactly 1 and when the data points are graphed the slope of them are 1. Is it possible for some of these dogs to weight more than their female couple, while other dogs weight less then their female couple? And is it possible that all of the male dogs have couple female dogs that are all shorter than them?

Suppose you are fitting a survival model and the outcome of interest is time to the diagnosis of cancer (T). A subject entered the study at t=0 and the diagnosis of cancer did not occur by the end of the study period, what kind of event is that? It is an interval-censored observation because an event happened between time of entry and the exit. It is a right-censored observation because no event will be observed during the study period. It is a left-censored observation where the event of interest happened before the study starts. It is a right-censored observation because the event has already occurred.
